I think it should stay the way it is. I spent a considerable amount of time strategizing the amount of years I would give each player, so that I wouldn't have too many great players expiring at the same time. The only option I could be convinced of is Mack North's suggestion of only re-upping 2 players, but they could have 0 or 1 year left. Is there any more discussion needed surrounding the amount of player adds and drops that can be done by one team in a season? I would be in favor of limiting that. Not sure if there is a rule in the NBA?

While I wanted to encourage the discussion to be had, I'm also in favour of leaving this particular rule untouched. If you want to extent them, wait until you can offer them an extension at 0.
If you don't have 2 guys you want to extend, then don't. But finding the gems and filling the holes in Free Agency will be one of the best parts of this League.

As for Limiting roster adds, we have the 40 Year Cap, which does limit teams and then from there everything is 1-year deals. I didn't really like it at first, but it kinda shaped the last half of the season.
I don't know, what do people think?

You can only add/drop 3 times per week.

In this league, there aren't a lot of good free agents and when guys come out of nowhere they are usually picked up quick.

If people are adding and dropping all the time, they are likely to lose a decent player.

Also, anyone picked up automatically counts as a year towards the 40 salary cap. If you pick that player up with 40 or under years, you can keep them as free agent if you want (it is how I got Sanders) but if you pick them up after 40 they go to free agency (it is how I lost Harris/Butler and had to bid $74 for Henson).

I think this rule should stay as is. IN the NBA there is no minimum/maximum adding/dropping players and once above salary cap they can only be signed for minimum (forgetting about exceptions).

Hope the draft went well. As expected, I ended up with two players I had no interest in. I set Tobias Harris to $200 to make sure I ended up with at least one player I wanted (sorry Matt! I saw from your post you were interested in him; my most disappointing moment of last season was when I went on to pick up LARRY SANDERS! to find you had grabbed him not two hours before....).

I've dropped the two guys I didn't want but was assigned - CJ Miles and Dante Cunningham. I've picked up Steven Adams and Donatas Montejunas off the waiver wire. I don't think it's fair for another team to scoop them by overbidding on the waiver wire as it was discussed before the draft that those who were unable to be present would be able to add players they actually wanted if they ended up with crap.

Year allocation is as follows:
Tobias Harris - 2 years
Donatas Montejunas - 2 years
Steven Adams - 2 years

Combined with my $93 Waiver Dollars, I'm quite happy with the flexibility as well as Talent Level on my team.

Good Draft Everyone! Thanks for coming out!!

I have you at 36. Are you including the 1 year you still owe Henson?

I will be signing
Ray Allen -1 year
Jamaal Crawford- 2 years
Kevin Garnett- 1 year
Samuel Dalembert- 1 year
Vince Carter- 1 year
Al Harrington- 1 year
Chase Buddinger- 1 year
Making my grand total a whopping 25. If anyone needs some bad contracts dumped, apparently I have room.
There's a good chance my whole team will retire at the end of the season.

Ya I saw the chart wasn't added up properly. When I add up the chart, I got 26, not 27. Plus the 9 years of my FAs and I get 35. I could be missing something though. The cap use chart for me was off though.
